📋 Tender Overview
According to the budget law of the Republic of Serbia, the Ministry of Environmental Protection has been allocated the largest funds to date in the amount of 25.6 billion dinars for the year 2026, which is even five times higher than in 2020 when just over five billion dinars were allocated for this area. Minister of Environmental Protection Sara Pavkov emphasizes that the allocated funds will enable even more intensive work on the construction of green infrastructure and other green projects, which are important for citizens. This years budget clearly shows that environmental protection is one of the pillars of Serbias development. In the coming year, we will have 25.6 billion dinars at our disposal, which is about two billion more compared to the current year, and that difference is not just numbers on paper, but new projects, facilities, and new green kilometers that we will build across the country. We continue all ongoing capital projects, and we are also directing funds into new measures for cleaner air, maintaining and improving the condition of protected areas of national interest, as well as raising environmental protection standards in accordance with modern standards. Great things and important projects await us in the coming year, in which we will work even faster and more intensively to provide our citizens with the environment they deserve, said Pavkov.
